How did your life change after moving to Germany? In terms of your mental / physical health / monetary / social relationship etc
I was became so depressed and I am recovering slowly. I also put some remarkable weight on due to depression. I have been working for almost 5 years and I recently started to earn around 2700€ net ( I am single, childfree) It is okayish as I don't live in Berlin but in a city in NRW. Social relationships? Well, It is not existing to be honest. I got plan to leave Germany in 2022, so I got max 1 more year in this country hopefully.
What is your story?
May I ask what do you do? Even in NRW, this wage is unthinkable for many foreigners, sadly :(
Anyway, my story is that I’m totally disappointed when it comes to relationships so I spend most of the time alone, only going out with social contacts (wouldn’t call them friends). This place requires so much mental strength to process. I don’t see my future here.
My mental health went downhill. I left - moved back to my home country. Now i can’t relate to anyone. I am considering moving back to Berlin, but then I wonder why the hell would I do that. So I am thinking instead UK. It’s close to Berlin so I can visit my friends, but without living under the German government. I still haven’t recovered financially or mentally from my time in Berlin. It will change you.
I'm definitely depressed, have a lot of anxiety even going to the supermarket. Don't have any real friends, i have one German "friend" but we meet every blood moon, a foreign acquaintance i was talking to noticed that this "friend" likes to contradict me a lot which adds to my depression something I didn't notice, as im probably so used to it now. Earn minimum wage. Sleep a lot and don't have much energy. No opportunities. I'm now pulling myself through to move to the UK and work in my field as Chermans won't hire me and I don't want to deal with their office politics and garbage. I've become cold and bitter. But unlike the chermans, I want to get out of it. I'm a social person I'm kind where I can be. Not having family or anything makes it much tougher. The friends I had here naively I thought Germans would be good friends, but they hesitate in helping. I dated abit to find out German women are trash and egoistical. Let's say it's a very slow, and lonely existence. So I bought a bunch of books to brush up my skills and start applying for jobs in the UK as that is my country of provenience.
I noticed that. I know a few government workers that work even 3-4 hours a day and make more than people in serious positions. One major issue here is that more skilled professions are paid terribly. + the tax decimates the final net sum, as a highly skilled worker you earn as much as a receptionist or a janitor(nothing against them every job is important) in other countries. It's a poor way to conduct things. Government workers here are the worst, laziest of them all.
"Government workers here are the worst, laziest of them all."
Very true. Not sure if the typical German civil servant mindset here is from the GDR or older, from feudalism but these people are completely incompetent idiots. Had to do three minor things at an Amt recently. Basically three things that would always need to be performed together. Made one appointment online of course, because it is impossible to get three on the same day. The person whined and screamed and complained that they just can't do all three things at once. So I told her I was sure she would manage and you know what? It literally took three minutes and it was all done. The broad spent more time complaining than actually working. Unbelievably common in government here.
P.S.: If you can, get a government job here and you too can enjoy immunity against being fired or let go, even when the economy tanks. As a foreigner your chances of getting hired at a German Amt are zero (unless you studied M.A. Verwaltungswissenschaft - lmao studying how to file papers and stamp forms) but foreign consulates and embassies are easy enough to get into.
I would like to Punch a Moritz Florian Krautt in the Face
I’m waiting for the cold weather to come around so all these drug addicted party loosers crawl back intl their holes. Parks here are filled with scum like that and you can’t take an evening walk without this scum around.
This guy is talking about being away from your own roots and how dangerous it is.www.youtube.com/watch
German Propaganda has far reaching effects,you see retards on Youtube and Quora defending Germany as some sort of Utopia.Thnx for this site
Life of a woman sucks here. The expats seem all to be frustrated creepy losers, the local men are whiny and obnoxious man-children, and if you walk on the street you are being leered at by creepy MENA men who seem to hate Western women. Berlin is good for environmentalism. It truly prevents a high birth rate.
A lot of these men here are losers and don’t know how to talk or act accordingly around women. Also, if you are looking at a women for a long time it does become freaking creepy. If you see a nice dame then look and keep it moving. It’s creepy to stare unless you are going to approach her for her number. I feel creepy myself if I stare to long at another woman. Some men don’t have any pride. Plus, that’s why we have strip clubs in the city and it’s all plenty of them, lol. If I want to stare where it’s ok then I will go there.
Good side of covid: Haven't heard a German do one of those blood-curdling noseblowing sessions in a while. You know exactly the kind I mean.
Lazy german f*cks. There is a strike on the sh*t bahn; no ring and many other trains. They always find a reason not to work.
Germans are a cowardly, sick, racist, fearful, incompetent and backstabbing nation. Just went shopping and two pusssyy Germans talk poop about me while passing them, as soon as I turned around to look into the ugly eyes of the piece of crap German talking about me to his friend I instantly saw the fear in his eyes. These people make me sick to the stomach.
I still don’t understand it myself. How someone can just stand there with their friends or colleagues and just talk crap. You don’t even know me but you want to talk poop about me? Goddam Nazis!!! They judge you ( as a foreigner) on the way you dress, talk, act, walk or whatever dumb reason to judge you. They sit and make jokes about other people. And the laughing is super funny one would think these people are professional comedians. But that’s the problem, they aren’t funny not in the least. Germans are extremely jealous, and hateful group of people. Even the most fattest ugly German slob will try and talk poop about you. Some nerve on them. The nasty East German female dog who is 50 and working at a bakery will have confidence and talk poop about you. I have seen the most trashy people with no manners, class or an ounce of coolness talk shit. Really? These people are the most nerdy, creepy, weirdo, bunch of people I have ever been around. I agree with you, the people here make me sick as well. I hate working with them, or having any type of dialogue that I don’t need to have with them. At this point, we are past the point of culture misunderstandings. I fully believe Germans are hateful, evil, racist and xenophobic. I hope this place burns in hell.
In my opinion, the people living here I mean the typical weirdos, cryptoracist (or not), drunkard, "Ausländer müssen raus", passive aggressive Helgas. Would not managed to survive in any other civilised country, in less than a millisecond. Ok maybe as tourists in an all inclusive Hotel (maximum for a week) or a boat trip with similar people like them.
Anyone else still feeling they are going nuts from this pandemic
People are still hysterical as they watch too much news. Everyday life has been turned into some perverted act with muzzles, test, constant nagging if someone wants to breath and doesn’t cover their nose. People show their true colors: mindless sh*ts who need someone to control their lives; a fuhrer to look up to and receive orders from.
yes..I think i have kind of relaxed a bit but subconsciously expecting everything to get shut down again at any moment. It wasnt really very nice having certain aspects of life torn away in an instant on multiple occasions. Am kind of scared to get my hopes up again
Lmao to all the folks who think their accommodation woes will be solved by expropriating apartments from the major players. All that will happen is supply will most likely stagnate. Then guess what happens? prices rise due to even more hardcore demand.
The rent cap was retarded because it also restricted supply. This will do the same thing on steroids. I actually cannot believe how stupid your average Berliner is. No wonder 85% of them don't own... utter fools.
Btw, if you cannot afford the city centre, then you're not entitled to live in it. Upskill or move elsewhere. Gone are the days where you could be a barista and live inside the ring.
Seriously imagine being German and actually knowing what Germany, especially Berlin, has been through over the past 100 years and still wanting to give the German government the right to confiscate private property with no legal recourse. Just the pendulum swinging back and throwing us into another era of tyrannical government overstep. It is always the same darn thing in Germany.
"All my problems would be solved if the government just had more power"
Why are they cowards? I’ve never seen such cowards to authority in my life!
